Mounting tire on roof


Recommended Posts

  • 5 months later...

Anyone know what the roof rack weight limit happens to be on an R50?

 

I'm looking at a fabbed roof rack that bolts to the stock roof rack. Probably put gas cans, cooler, tent, ez-up, etc...

The ad shows a guy standing on the rack...I think it may be an FJ.

Depending on which cross bars you have, I would not put much up there. I had the slim stock bars and snapped them with very little effort and weight. The Roof itself can hold a substantial amount, it just depends on how many feet you have spreading the load out.

I don't think mine would be considered slim. Pretty wide and seem beefy. Wasn't too stable with a cooler sitting lengthwise, so last time, I set the cooler on the roof, pinched it from sliding using the crossbars, and strapped it down.

 

The roof got pretty scratched up. I was more concerned with bowing it down.

I have the big factory "PATHFINDER" rack, and it says the weight limit is 150 evenly spread pounds IIRC

Have a pic? I have no clue what you're talking about. I remember something like that on the older WD21s but nothing on the R50....?

This is what I'm talking about. It's basically a rectangular version of the Xterra racks.

Can't edit?

 

It would be nice to have...people always ask if it's a 4runner. :/

That still hasn't stopped anyone from calling mine a 4runner :/ My ex-gf asked once if it was a Hyundai...glad to be done with that.
